What was said

"Microsoft has actually decided to stop using NDAs because of the level of backlash. I've heard from uh people managing compute at some of the other AI labs that they are thinking of making the same decision."

Journalist Jasmine Sun tells The Ezra Klein Show that Microsoft has decided to stop using non-disclosure agreements in local data-centre negotiations after community backlash. She adds that people managing compute at other AI labs are considering similar changes, portraying NDAs as a flashpoint that worsened distrust in siting processes.
